The One Minute Manager
There’s a well-respected theory that self-help books for women, and cookery programmes for men, fulfil the same purpose.

Time Management without Tears
Are you the kind of person who likes mind maps? Or do you prefer a bulleted list with shoulder headings, sub-headings and so on? The two are not so very different, although mind maps seem to be associated with more arty types. I think this is mainly because you can add sub-headings and sub-sub-headings in…

Your Domain Name?
Ever got fed up with those ‘phishing’ emails which offer you your own domain name for renewal when you know you don’t normally deal with those people?
